Chapter 227: The Rain Finally Stops
"Who doesn't like to listen to good and obedient words, besides, that's praising my daughter, I'm happy to be a mother." It is the first time in Zhou Shuilian's life that she has been respected by so many people like this, and this feeling is quite good.
After Zhou Shuilian finished speaking, Mu Xiaocao couldn't help laughing, Mu Xiu also raised the corners of his mouth, the three of them laughed for a while, and after laughing enough, Mu Xiucai asked, "What about Brother Chen?" ”
"Xuhui, this kid, is really diligent, he went to the field with a pump early in the morning, saying that we are not planting rice, and the field should not be too wet, so we should also pump water out." Zhou Shuilian replied.
"Hopefully this rain will end soon." Mu Xiu looked out of the courtyard, looking at the rain that was still dripping, and a look of worry appeared on his face.
"Alas, look at the weather, this rain will take a while, we have so many people to eat, a day of chewing is also a lot, the green vegetables in the field were all pulled out in the rain yesterday, that is, eat a few days, there are still a lot of bacon and sausages, our family has saved a lot of coarse grains, and there are less than twenty catties of white rice and white noodles." Mu Xiaocao was a little worried, although there was enough food to eat, there were not many vegetables.
"In the past, it wasn't all coarse grains that were only eaten, there were no vegetables and pickles, this hen can still lay more than a dozen eggs a day, she must be hungry, you can rest assured." Zhou Shuilian glanced at Mu Xiaocao, no wonder she was so fat that she was thinking about eating all day long, but after this glance, Zhou Shuilian was a little stunned.
I don't know when it started, Mu Xiaocao lost weight, and now his chin has taken shape, and even his clothes look a little empty.
"Mother, what do you see? The eyes are weird. Mu Xiaocao was stared at by Zhou Shuilian's gaze.
"Xiaocao, are you okay, why do you look thin."
Mu Xiu also looked at Mu Xiaocao, "Sister, you're really thin." ”
At this time, there is no big dressing mirror at home, and there is a very old and polished mirror on the washstand at home.
"I mean, how do you feel a little loose lately, I thought it was because the clothes were washed too much." Mu Xiaocao stretched out his hand and pulled the clothes on his body, the clothes that had just been close to him before, he pulled out a lot of clothes and pinched his waist with his hand, there was really not so much meat.
"Sister, how did you lose weight?" Mu Xiu asked with great interest.
"Recently, I have been living a lot, and it is normal to lose a little weight every day." Mu Xiaocao said disappreciatively.
"You used to be in the Li family, and you did so much work, and you didn't see any weight." Zhou Shuilian's words made Mu Xiaocao speechless for a while, yes, in the Li family before, I didn't eat well at home, and I only did a lot more work, and the more I ate, the fatter I was.
"We all eat the same, the only difference is that I have been drinking what Angelica soaking water from Muxiu gave me all this time, I like that taste very much." Mu Xiaocao thought about it carefully.
"Angelica astragalus." Mu Xiu remembered that some time ago, when she saw Mu Xiaocao doing some work, she was snorting and panting, and she looked listless all day long, so she gave Mu Xiaocao the angelica astragalus tablets in the space, and let her usually soak in water and drink them before eating.
However, it is not surprising that Angelica Astragalus can promote the operation of qi and blood, and Mu Xiaocao's fat may be caused by the deficiency of qi and blood, while Angelica Astragalus is good for qi and blood loss.
Originally, Mu Xiu was just thinking about replenishing Mu Xiaocao's qi and blood, but he didn't expect that it was the right symptom, and Mu Xiaocao actually lost weight.
"Let's lose weight and have the appearance of being a girl at home, come, let's change all our clothes today, and look good in well-fitting clothes." Zhou Shuilian said happily, after all, her daughter is good-looking, and her mother's face is also bright.
"Yes, make two more skirts for Xiaohua and Pandi, and they will be beautiful." Mu Xiu nodded and said.
"The flower cloth you brought back last time is just right to use, I'll get it." Zhou Shuilian smiled and walked into the back room to get cloth and a sewing basket.
It was raining heavily outside the house, and there were a few laughs in the house from time to time, in this dull weather, it was particularly beautiful, which made Chen Xuhui and Mu Shui, who had just come back from outside, stand under the corridor, stunned, and for a long time, Mu Shui showed a wry smile, it was he who pushed this happiness away, he turned around and left, Chen Xuhui looked at Mu Shui, did not chase after it, but put things away, wiped them indiscriminately, and stepped into the hall.
"Brother Chen, you're back." Mu Xiu heard the movement and looked up to see Chen Xuhui.
"Mu Xiu, this pumping machine you made is really easy to use, but your arms are a little tired." Chen Xuhui said with a smile, and shook his arm that was still trembling.
"When our village has money, it will be much more convenient to buy automatic pumping machines and tractors." Mu Xiuzhen misses the combine harvester of later generations.
"Just after pumping water, I went to the river for a turn, although the rain did not stop day by day, but the water level of the river did not rise much, and other villagers went to see it, and they all said that there would be no flood." Chen Xuhui's words made Mu Xiu's mood relax a lot, as long as there was no flood.
"It's okay, it'll be fine in a few days, don't worry about it." Mu Xiaocao just finished sewing a thread, and when he picked up the needle and threaded it, he took a sentence.
Everyone thought that Mu Xiaocao was just saying it in passing, but Mu Xiu loosened her brows, her sister should have an impression of this heavy rain, no wonder from the rain to the present, she was calm, and just now she said that it would rain for a while, it seems that it was just a simple heavy rain, and it did not cause too much disaster.
Sure enough, as Mu Xiu thought, in the following days, the rain slowly became smaller, and finally on the twelfth day, after a few drops of rain fell sparsely, it stopped, and in the whole yard, there was only the sound of water dripping on the green bricks.
"It's finally clear." Early in the morning, Mu Xiu heard Zhou Shuilian's surprise outside the house.
Mu Xiu hurriedly put on his clothes and walked to the yard, but no, not only did the rain stop, but even the sun came out, and the sun was not as hot as before the rain, shining warmly on the earth.
Li Pandi also rushed out of the house happily, stepped on the puddle on the green brick, happily stepped on the puddle and played, and stepped on it all at once, splashing in all directions, making her giggle and laugh.
"Let's go and see in the field." Mu Xiu didn't have much hope in his heart, after all, this heavy rain would definitely affect the harvest.
The rain stopped last night, and the road was still muddy, but Chen Xuhui and his team used big stones and wooden planks to pave a simple road a few days ago, leading straight to the ground.
